Investigation launched into leak of info on domestic spying program
WASHINGTON -- The Justice Department has opened an investigation into the leak of classified information about President Bush's secret domestic spying program.
The inquiry focuses on disclosures to The New York Times about warrantless surveillance conducted by the National Security Agency since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, officials said.

Of course, the spying isn't the problem. The first things these guys want to investigate is who let the cat outta' the bag and tipped off the American people to these going ons.

Teens: 'Hang up and drive' is law on Sunday
Minnesota is telling teenage motorists with cell phones to hang up and drive or else face fines and delays in becoming fully licensed to cruise the roads.
A law that takes effect Sunday will apply to roughly 400,000 drivers with learning permits or provisional licenses -- nearly all of them teenagers -- prohibiting any use of a cell phone while behind the wheel, except in emergencies. Both hand-held and hands-free phone calls are forbidden by the law, which the Legislature enacted in July.

And this doesn't apply to everyone, why??

Cairo, Egypt (CNN) -- Between 10 and 20 Sudanese refugees have been killed and more than 50 others injured by Egyptian soldier who were trying to herd them aboard buses for evacuation from an upper class neighborhood.
The Egyptian Ministry said Friday that security forces had killed 10 of the refugees, but health officials put the toll at 20 dead.

And if even a fraction of these souls had been taken due to a car bomb in Iraq, Afghanistan or any place else in the world, it would have been decried as terrorism, plainly and simply.
If we could ask the dead or their families, do you think they would really find any difference just because the perpetrators were organized militarily, sanctioned by a government and wore uniforms?
Where is the recognition of the sanctity of life and the outrage now?
And just what is the real definition of terrorism, anyway?
